WILLIAM A. STANDING, OF SHARPSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.

SECTIONAL COMPOUND HEATING-STOVE.

, Application filed August 18,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. STANDING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sharpsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sectional Compound Heating-Stoves; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to a new and useful improvement in heating devices, being especially adapted to stoves employing gas as a heating medium.

The main idea involved in my invention is to provide a large radiating-surface and con fine the heat within the stove before passing it out through the chimney-flue by utilizing the benefits of combustion through a plurality of radiating sections.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, I have shown several views of my device.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the top part in section. Fig. 2 is a crosssectional view taken on line 2 2 of Fig. 1, the course of the heat being shown by arrows. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional View taken through the combustion-chamber and two of the radiating sections.

Throughout the several views the numeral 1 designates the framework or uprights sup porting a plurality of radiating flue-sections 2 2. Formed between each of said sections is an air-space 3 3, and at one side of the stove, near the bottom portion thereof, is a combustion-chamber 4, having located therein a burner 5 and a valve-controlled supply-pipe 6.

Formed in each of the radiating-sections is a partition-wall 7, extending nearly the entire length thereof, leaving an opening at one end in order to afford a communication between the two chambers thus formed. Each of the radiating-sections is connected at the opposite end from that having the opening Specification of Letters Patent.

in the partition-wall by draft-pipes 8, which are located at alternating sides of the stove.

A draft-flue 9 connects the top section with the chimney.

Heat when generated in the combustionchamber 4 first passes through the bottom section 2, which is not partitioned off, then up through the pipe 8, and into one side of the next section above. In order to find an outlet into the adjoining chamber, it must again travel in the opposite direction the length of the section in order to find an exit through the pipe 8, connecting the next sec tion above. The heat by alternating back and forth through each of these sections as it passes upward is compelled to travel twice the distance it ordinarily would if each section were simply connected by pipes at alternating ends of the stove. By passing the heat back and forth in each of the communicating sections as it is drawn upward,'a much greater benefit is, derived therefrom owing to the same having to travel a long distance before passing into the chimney, and an even radiating heat is thus generated all over the stove. The spaces between each of the sections permits a free circulation of air around all sides of the same and also allows the heat radiating from each section to enter the room.

In the manner of generating heat inside the stove it is readily apparent that any combustible mattersuch as coal, oil, or wood may be substituted for gas. It is also apparent that each section of the stove may contain two or more partitions in place of only one, as shown in the drawings, thus still further retarding the passage of heat through the stove.

No poisonous fumes or gases will escape into the room, as all such products will be confined inside the stove and after being circulated back and forth in the sections will pass out through the flue-pipe 9.

Having thus fully shown and described my invention, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A drum comprising a series of superimposed chambers spaced from one another, said chambers being provided with longitudinal partitions extending from one end of the drum and terminating short of the other In testimony whereof I affix my signature end thereof, connections between the chamin presence of two witnesses. bersat the end of the drum from which said WILLIAM A' STANDING. partltlons extend, sald connectlons belng ar- 1 5 ranged alternately on opposite sides of said i Witnesses:
